A 57-year-old Toys R Us employee who died after falling off a ladder on Wednesday night has been
identified.

Keith I. Weisheimer, of Hilliard, was working at the toy store at 6547 Sawmill Rd. in Dublin
when he fell from an 8-foot ladder while trying to remove an item from a display, according to
Dublin police.

Washington Township paramedics were called at 7:45 p.m.

Police said it appeared that Weisheimer missed a step on the ladder and fell backward, hitting
his head on the floor.

He was pronounced dead at Dublin Methodist Hospital about 30 minutes after he fell. The Franklin
County coroner’s office will conduct an autopsy to determine cause of death.

The toy store remained open until its usual 10 p.m. closing time.

Officials with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration confirmed yesterday that they
are investigating the incident.
